Static qt building

**karlkar** · 5th August 2013, 19:10

Hello!
I have prepared static build of Qt. It works great, my apps doesn't need Qt5Gui.dll and so on. But it still needs libwinpthread-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll. What can I do to include them in my build?
I have Windows 7 x64, mingw47_32. I use QtCreator 2.7.0 to build binaries.
I've read that I need to add -static-libgcc to build with libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll, but where do I have to put this?

This is an inconsistent request. If you want to statically link libgcc then you are specifically avoiding libgcc's dynamically linked libraries (DLLs).

It looks like you want to build your static Qt library with modified options so that it, and the projects it subsequently generates, statically link the GCC libs.

Having never tried it myself I cannot vouch for the directions... (I don't see the endless attraction that static builds seem to hold.)
